I liked Cindy and Henry as a couple, but the conflict was really dumb. It could have been resolved so easily if both of them would have just used their heads and thought about the person they were dealing with.
But overall, it's fine. I'd recommend it for someone who is looking for a light romance with no spice.
Crying score: none

Such a cute read! The similarities to Cinderella are a light touch, but still noticeable. I liked the changes that Julie makes, the most prominent being the fact that Cindy is Plus Sized. Watching her navigate the notoriously judgemental sphere of reality TV while falling for Henry is so sweet. I love their chemistry and the ending is heartwarming. I'm a suckered for a good epilogue, but this gave me enough breathing room to be satisfied. I'm here for an adult coming of age story, and Julie did not disappoint.
